660 Hotspots Detected in Indonesia in Last 24 Hours (Thursday, October 30, 2025)

Based on the SiPongi forest and land fire monitoring system of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), monitoring in the last 24 hours shows that 660 hotspots were detected in Indonesia. This number of hotspots decreased by 131 points compared to the previous period.

The data is the result of Terra/Aqua, SNPP, and NOAA satellite imagery accessed on Thursday (October 30, 2025) at 11:53 AM WIB. Of the 660 detected hotspots, 9 points had a high hotspot confidence level, 605 points had a medium scale, and 46 points had a low scale.

Hotspot confidence levels are divided into 3 scales. Low scale has a range of 0 - 29, medium scale 30 - 79, and high scale 80 - 100. The higher the hotspot confidence level, the higher the likelihood of forest and land fires occurring in a certain area.

The most detected hotspots were in East Nusa Tenggara with 195 points. North Sumatra ranked second with 142 hotspots. Aceh was in third place with 60 hotspots.

A total of 43 hotspots were detected in North Maluku, followed by West Kalimantan with 41 hotspots, and West Sumatra and Bangka Belitung Islands each had 33 and 24 detected hotspots.

A hotspot is a coordinate point of an area that has a higher surface temperature compared to its surroundings, and is not the number of forest and land fire incidents.

However, a large number of hotspots clustered in an an area indicates the occurrence of forest and land fires. This means that hotspot data from remote sensing satellite detection is still the most effective in monitoring forest and land fires over a large area.
